Jodi, good question. since the actual amount you pay may vary a lot from month to month, you probably can’t list a single number. Instead I would list your minimum payment. If you want you could add a slash and put in your average actual payment as well. Mostly this information is for reference purposes so you can see all your financial information at a glance. It’s not meant to be a debt snowball (although I will certainly be addressing that later) but will certainly be referred to in creating your get-out-of-debt plan.

On the list of debts should we put in the minimum payment each month or the amount we actually pay? Will there be a separate sheet later for tracking some sort of debt snowball? Sorry if I’m jumping ahead. Just getting excited about putting my stuff together!

Ben, welcome aboard. This program will totally work if you’re single. I always forget to mention that. You can just tune out when I talk about couple stuff. I’m glad you’re giving it a try.
